The U.S. Internal Revenue Service has taken the position that cannabis companies are subject to the limits of Section 280E of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 280E”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, under which, they are only allowed to deduct expenses directly related to costs of goods sold. The Company has taken a position that its deduction of ordinary and necessary business expenses is not limited by Section 280E.
The Company records an uncertain tax liability in uncertain tax positions (“UTP”) on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for tax positions taken based on legal interpretations that challenge the Company's tax liability under Section 280E.
